Peter B notes a degree of humbug in the Guardian's Campaign for Real Obituaries. I don't see the problem - the Guardian has always been prepared to pay generous tribute in suitably deserving cases. Take this one:
A surprisingly articulate observer of the society....Guess who ?

Indeed, the more that convincing evidence was presented of her transformation, the more the myth grew, in response, that she was a manipulative schemer...
The popular assumption was that she was the devil incarnate.
